will ask legislative action to in meeting those conditions.
Last year war activities cost the state over $9,000,000, and appropri¬ ations for war purposes will be a continuing burden while the war lasts. This means that every department will have to exercise the most rigid economy and curtail all activities ex¬ cept those absolutely necessary. The stato has to feed, house and clothe about 50,000 criminals, insane and other wards, and the war has in¬ creased the prices of everything re¬ quired for their maintenance. These increases are not included in the amount spent last year for war pur¬ poses, but they are one of the indi¬ rect results of the war, and will have to be met as long as the war con¬ tinues. .
Ijegislation to encourage and facili¬ tate increased food production and to expedite and simplify food distribu¬ tion which occupied much of the time of the Legislature in 1917, and on which a good start was made, is a continuing problem, and will figures prominently in this year's session.
The increa.sinp: demands for coal in fiu'torios, by railroads and elsewhere which mude an exceptionally iargt output from the mines inadequate has led the Governor to call to the at¬ t.ention of the I.<egislature the necessi¬ ty for the state to conserve and dc- vclope its vast water powers and make them an asset.
The doubling of the electorate of the state by the grunting of suf¬ frage to women necessitates the aniondnient of the election law to make effoctivi' tho suffrage uinendmont to the constitution.
The Ix'gislature of 191S has a vast amount of important work before it, and will huvo very littlo time to give to what might be termed fancy legis¬ lation.

Assemblyman Thomas A. McWhin- ¦ ney, the Nassau County legislator, j who has been interested in the pro- : ject heretofore, has taken the matter I up directly with several high military authorities, and they have encouraged it. He said:
"They saw at once the advantage of such a thoroughfare. They told me that it would be of great value to them, since it would provide a route over which they could run lit¬ erally trains of army trucks bringing materials directly from the city to the camps.
"Of course, the road would not ac¬ tually strike the camp sites, but it would run along a few miles soutii of them, and with, as they alrea<ly have, good north and south connect¬ ing roads, which are not crowded by trafllc, it would ofli'er great advan¬ tages."
Heretolfore bhe project has been considered as a propoosition for joint action between Nassau County, New York City and the state. The Mit¬ chel administration was friendly to¬ ward its development in that manner, and Mr. McWhinney stated yesterday that he intended to take up the ques- : tion with the new Hylan administra¬ tion and sound it out on the same line.s.
The pipe-line property extends from a point thirty feet east of the Nassau-i.SufTolk line at Amityville to Hu.shwick avenue, Brooklyn, and at its narrowest point is al>out 100 feet wide.
This would provide ample room for an east and west thoroughfare on either side of a space which would be loft inimodiately above the pipe-line to make it possible to open the line al uny point without -blocking the roadways.
The property is owned in fee by tho city, and the municipality pays on that p:irt of the line in Nas.sau ("ounty an annual tax aggregating alwut .'?.")(),00(). The plan considered is that tho city deed over ita property retaining merely its franchise right for the pipo-line, thus saving the an¬ nual tax, and the state and county to l)uil(l the road and maintain it.

That fine steel-gray sweater went out with the engineer. Now it is re¬ placed by another. Dr. Norris does not know who sent the sweater and George Wycherly, the sexton, will not tell—if he knows.

Traffic and operating oflicials of the Long Island Railroad have completed the organization of their forces for the oLyervance of "I'Veiglit-.Moviiifi; Week"—January 14th to 21st inclu¬ sive.
This seven-tlay period has been des¬ ignated by Hon. Williani G. Mc.\doo, Director-tJeneral of Railroads, when a con»;erted effort is to be made by all railroads, with the fundamental ob¬ ject in view of clearing up, as far a.s possible, the large and burdensome accumulation of doine.stic and export freight now stored in cars, on the ground and at terminals in the east- ernjiart of the countrv.

Postmaster General Burelson may be the next subject of a Congressional clinic as soon as investigations of the War aiul Navy Departments and the Shipping Board are disposed of. The Merchants' Association of New York City is expected to be the operator- in-chief in this examination.
For some weeks this association has invited, and has received, criticism of the mail service under the Texas au¬ tocrat who wields the caduceus over the postal affairs of the nation. These critics aver that our modern Mer¬ cury apparently has a bad case of etone-bruise—that mail delivery is un¬ consciously slow, letters are often de¬ livered to wrong addresses, business transi^ctions are dela>'ed on account of poor ervice, and communications with banking correspondents are held up,until after the hour for clearance, thus causing a loas of one day's in- ' iaiMt on Laryu aunia of money, which

Wilson, General FreJKht today, "is prepared to lend every assistance is this nation-wide campaign to eliminate congestion, to keep the tracks open, and to get the greatest possible use out of every freight car. To insure the most ex¬ peditious movement of troops, war materials and equipment, both for the United Slates and our allies, an 1 to look after the re<iuirements of the [ general shipping public at the same '. time, it is imperative that the FJast- ern Railroads shall be able to produce the maximum of transportation elli- i ciency.
"To accomplish this goal, howev- i er„" said Mr. Wilson, "it is essen- , tial that the carriers receive the un¬ divided support of shippers and con- | signt^s. That they will respond cheer- i fully and promptly to the emergency | call of the Director-General of Rail- ' roads, during 'Freight-Moving Week,' j we haven't the slightest dout. I
"In order to obtain the most effec- '< tive use of cars," concluded Mr. Wil¬ son, "I would strongly urge upon Ivong Island shippers and receivers! of freight, close observance of the i following instructions:
"First—Unload cars promptly.
"Second I>oad cars to marked ca¬ pacity and ten per cent, above when¬ ever poasible.
